Level:  doctoral academic studies

Upon end of the studies student will receive a title: Phd - mining engineering

The goal of doctoral studies in Mining Engineering is to educate students capable for conducting high quality and original scientific research, which will contribute to overall progress of knowledge including advances within Mining Engineering scientific area. Study programme is directed toward education of doctoral students which will, during their careers, perform research within areas of mineral deposits exploitation, technological processes of mineral processing, mechanization and automation of mining machinery, petroleum engineering, energy, environmental protection and safety. Basic goal of education process at these doctoral studies is to provide students with a comprehensive and complex knowledge within certain specialty, through research within selected courses and close cooperation with the mentor. Students will develop the ability to conduct multidisciplinary scientific research, to communicate and correspond, to present results of scientific research, as well as to establish and develop international scientific collaboration.

It is expected that graduates of the Mining Engineering doctoral studies will be qualified to demonstrate systematic understanding within areas such as mineral deposits exploitation technologies, technological processes in mineral processing, mechanization and automation of mining machines, petroleum engineering, energy, environmental protection and safety. Students will engross methods and skills, which are standard in contemporary mining engineering. Graduate students will be qualified to solve complex practical and theoretical problems within various specialties of Mining Engineering, to organize scientific and development research, to participate in international scientific projects, to understand and to apply latest achievements, to develop creative skills and to comply with research ethical code, to possess proper level of written and verbal communication, to present scientific research results at international scientific conferences and to publish papers in scientific journals. Doctors of Mining Engineering will be qualified to continuously follow new trends within their field, as well as to apply the information technologies and to combine knowledge with achievements in the other scientific disciplines. In this manner, graduate students will be capable to significantly contribute to enlargement of knowledge pool and development of mining and science in general, as well as to provide contribution to scientific, technological and cultural progress of society within their academic and professional context.

Completed Undergraduate and Master academic studies in corresponding or related scientific field, with total amount of 300 ECTS credits, at least.
